Swept Away ― How the Smart Grid Tsunami Could Destroy Utilities (And What to Do About It)
Jul 21st
Jul 20, 2010
It’s easy to figure a strategy for surviving a tidal wave … run like hell for the high ground.
.
It’s more difficult to apply that thinking to the Smart Grid. We can see the wave is about to hit the shore… but which way is the high ground? Should a utility start offering all sorts of new energy services behind the meter? Or become a wires-only utility and leave the new services to others? Or compete with the EnerNOCs of the world? Or partner with them? Or emigrate to New Zealand to herd sheep?

By being tied into the smart grid in Fort Collins, Colo., New Belgium Brewing Co. will know when it makes sense to produce its own power, reports the Coloradoan.
The city’s distributed energy generation program is designed to let companies and organizations that have their own generating capacity to add power back to the grid during times of peak loads. The program is part of the Fort Collins Zero Energy District, or FortZED.
In New Belgium’s case, that means a new 200-kilowatt engine that runs on diesel and/or natural gas will kick on when the city signals that power demand is peaking, said Jenn Orgolini More >

Dec 28th
December 28, 2009
Revenue from smart grid applications is expected to reach a short-term peak of about $35 billion in 2013, according to a new report from Pike Research.
At about $10 billion in 2009, the smart grid market should be worth about $18 billion in 2010 and rise steadily until 2013, according to the report “Smart Grid Technologies.”
Pike Research puts cumulative global spending on the smart grid from 2008 to 2015 at $200 billion.
Pike Research’s predictions are more conservative than those from Zpryme, which suggests that the U.S. market alone will be worth more than $42 billion by 2014.
